Rating: 4/5Good value for price

This review is from: Royal 29186x 112mx 12-sheet Crosscut Shredder

Pros: Powerful, compact, sleek design. I like the credit card and CD slots. Both are very handy. I think I have only jammed it once, but that was due to my impatience and feeding more than 8 sheets at a time. I use this daily for all of my junk mail.

Cons: You feed the paper in horizontally rather than dropping paper vertically. It isn't a big deal, just different.

Rating: 5/5Works well... shreds paper and cards

This review is from: Royal 29186x 112mx 12-sheet Crosscut Shredder

Pros: Works better than having a dog - shreds paper, documents, and credit cards cleanly with out the mess of owning a pet to do it for you. All you do to keep it happy is feed it documents and credit cards. Keep the blades jam free.

Cons: Eats my credit cards - good for me, bad for girlfriend

Other Thoughts: Must have for any office or home by securely disposing sensitive documents.

Rating: 1/5Died after 5 months

This review is from: Royal 29186x 112mx 12-sheet Crosscut Shredder

Pros: Good price. Cross cuts paper.

Cons: Shredder died after 5 months of occasional use. I generally shred old papers 2 to 3 times per week, and about 3-6 pages at a time. The shredder is somewhat slow to shred. It is a sideways feed and its difficult to engage the auto feed on the first attempt. I tried to get warranty support from Royal as per the user manual which states that warranty requests are to be MAILED in. I mailed out the request only to have it come back as not deliverable from the USPS. I then tried the Royal.com website for support. When clicking on warranty for "other products" the link does not work. Wow! I guess I'll spend my time on hold when I try to call Royal on the phone. Seriously I don't have time for this run around.

Other Thoughts: This shredder might be good for someone, but if you have a problem then the support is terrible!

Rating: 5/5Great deal

Pros: This thing is a beast for its price and size. Obviously it won't compare to the costly high end shredders out there, but for typical household use you can't do much better.

It handles what it has been fed quickly and shuts off quite fast. It starts to struggle a bit when you reach that 12 sheet capacity, but that is not a surprise since at that point you are actually running it *at* capacity. I haven't had any issues with it clogging or overheating or anything along those lines. The removal basket makes dealing with the waste extremely easy as well.

Cons: I would stick to 8 to 10 pages at a time. As with most shredders it does get bogged down a bit when you put the max in there, and if you do so regularly it might put excess wear on the motor.

Rating: 4/5Good but smaller than I thought

This review is from: Royal 29186x 112mx 12-sheet Crosscut Shredder

Pros: Powerful enough motor for a daily shredding, small pieces and works great on credit cards and cd/dvd's. Small enough for desktop or shelf use. Sound level is reasonable and resolving jams with reverse always clears it.

Cons: Gets a little warm when shredding a box of old bills and some bank statements needed to be fed in pieces. Small capacity basket needed to be emptied frequently and still small pieces of paper seem to land outside the basket.

Other Thoughts: I probably needed a bigger shredder for my backlog of shredding I need to do, but for daily shredding this seems perfect. The castors seem silly on such a small shredder, but some may find them useful, they are optional to attach.
